The new GoReporter participatory journalism platform allows anyone to upload videos of events and news facts that will then be put up for sale on mediaCastpro, where interested journalists can purchase them.

Genova, Italy, 19th Jul 2024 – The company netMtech is pleased to announce the opening of the new participatory journalism platform GoReporter, which integrates with the mediaCastpro platform that has already been operational for several months.

For those who do not already know, mediaCastpro is a B2B marketplace where audiovisual professionals can buy and sell video footage on any topic. It is a very different platform than microstock and news video agencies for a variety of reasons:

  • on mediaCastpro professionals can independently choose the selling prices of their videos;
  • videos uploaded to mediaCastpro are immediately available for purchase without the need for prior administrative approval;
  • even very long videos, consisting of multiple clips, as generated by the camera, can be uploaded and sold on mediaCastpro;
  • videos can be sold exclusively or privately to individual buyers on mediaCastpro.

These features have made mediaCastpro a particularly effective platform for the buying and selling of news and reporting videos among industry professionals, such as journalists, documentary filmmakers, TV broadcasters, bloggers, etc.

In order to increase even more the range of videos featured on mediaCastpro, the netMtech company wanted to open a new platform, GoReporter, which also allows non-professional citizens to upload news and events videos. These videos, if deemed interesting by the staff, will then be offered for sale on mediaCastpro.

Any video of potential journalistic interest, local, national or international, can be uploaded to GoReporter. Videos can cover scheduled events, news events, demonstrations, protests, gossip, interviews with important people, and more. Users are incentivized to upload videos to GoReporter as they will get 50 percent of the proceeds if they are sold.

Thanks to the integration between GoReporter and mediaCastpro, journalists interested in purchasing news and factual videos can now browse a wider repertoire of videos, including not only those made by professional video reporters but also those made by private citizens who happened to be in the right place at the right time. A large proportion of news events, in fact, happen suddenly, without the presence on the scene of a professional journalist who can take footage. This is precisely why it is important for those working in the news field to also be able to browse participatory journalism platforms such as GoReporter, where it is possible to find videos made by users in all parts of the world.

Videos purchased on mediaCastpro, by interested journalists or documentary filmmakers, can be used by them with great freedom. There are no limits either in terms of distribution channel – videos can also be broadcast on TV – or in terms of audience size. Moreover, no attribution is required, so journalists can broadcast the purchased video without citing either mediaCastpro or the actual author of the video.

It should be noted, however, that mediaCastpro, while particularly effective for buying and selling news videos, allows the sale and purchase of any type of video. Indeed, on that platform it is also possible to sell and buy stock videos, which can be used for commercial purposes, and finished video productions of any type, such as complete documentaries. The mediaCastpro marketplace, in fact, places very few technical constraints on the videos that can be uploaded and sold, so that it is particularly flexible and suitable for different uses.
